HS Code 844790

HS code 844790 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Knitting machines, stitchbonding machines and machines for making gimped yarn, tulle, lace, embroidery, trimmings, braid or net and machines for tufting : Other". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8447) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 844790 include lace machine, embroidery machine, braiding machine, netting machine, tufting machine, gimping machine and similar items matching knitting machines. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (844790) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
